League Net Dead
Hamilton Holt, who haa recently
returned from Europe, where he made
a flrat-hand atudy of conditioni there,
addraaaed the faculty and students
of the college and citisens of Berea
last evening in the College ChapeL
Mr. nolt while in Europe aat aa
an observer at the Reunions of the
League of Nationa Areembty at Go-
nova, 8witierland. He gavo a vivid
picture of the birth of the League in
1 918, and of the impression that the
document made upon the minds of
European statesmen present at the
Urn H was first read by Wood row
Wilson to the delegation. Ho re
counted, in glowing terma, some of
the accomplishments of the League.
The League, he said, had not at
tempted the solution of any major in
, tarnation issues, but assumed such
obligationa as it could successfully
handle and that it is constantly
growing in favor thruout the world.
,A few accomplishments of the League
haa been the establishment of a !
health eommiulon whkh has made
marvelous strides In cleaning up the
tench of the "out of the way" placea.
The League commission to abolish
slavery haa done much to prevent
slaves from being carried across .the
borders of the backward countries
and haa played a great part in rescu
ing women from the Turkish harems
The League fettled the dispute be
tween Finland and Norway over the
Ogney Islands. Mr. Holt was pres
ant when Persia appealed its case
against Russia to the League of Na
tions, which saved her from Russian
aggression, a thing which before hsJ
been unheard of and which no power
but the League of Nations waa able
or willinjr to prevent He also waa North Dakota R. A. Nastoa, Rep.

yet to be seen what it will accom
plish. Whenever before in the his
tory of the world haa a nation been
willing to lay it sovereignty before
an international body with the hopej
of receiving jutice! Mr. Holt said
that he went to Europe 100 percent
in favor of the League. Be came
back 200 percent convinced that the ,
league of Nationa Is the only sound
step that haa been made in the di-1
rection of the accomplishing world (
peace. Ho said that he talked with .
a Bulgarian statesman, who aaid that
the only Justi-e Bulgaria had receiv-
ed had been thru the League of Na-
tions. Following the war Albania
appealed Ita case to the League of j
Nationa. The Assembly considered
Albania's appeal, established her in
to a nation, and sent a committee to
her to aid in establishing the neces
sary machinery for government Al
bania ia now a working government
It haa established hospitals of Its
own, normal schools, and other insti
tutions in keeping with the civiliie4
countries.
Mr. Holt said that he doea not fear
revolution in Europe, but he fears
ditsolution. Europe, he saysis dis
solving, the intellectual life U disin
tegrating. The artista and educators
and those who once constituted the
mind of Europe have resorted to any
sort of menial labor by which they
may earn bread. The queation now
is, not what I hall we wear, but where
shall we get the next meal. He
heard Nansen, the great Norwegian
explorer, aay that the tima would
coaie, unless Europe was saved from
ita downward trend, when salted
human flesh would be sold on the
markets.
Mr. Holt says that unless the mor
al laws of tha world have exception
the United States must suffer for ita
indifferent attitude towards suffering
Europe. He said tha only thin
that will aave us along with the rest
of the world is to quit playing poll
tics and to commence acting like
men.

ever held in this county. The attend-1
ance waa far better than was expect
ed, even by those who were in closest
tnneh with the BMnl Outside of BO-
. TV. Urmt d. Thnrsdav. was
entrance day, at which time the Tab-
emacle was made a veritable scene
of cookery, canned goods, farm prod
ucts, needlework, and school children
and Junior Agricultural Club dis
plays. The second day was Junior Club
and School Day. Moat of the morn
ing was taken up in the collage ath
letic field with contesta between the
various school. In tha school and
community contests Silver Creek,
with Stanley Powell as teacher, took
the fl-st place; Wallaceton, where
Mrs. Bern ice Kindred teaches, came
in a close second. Mrs. Kindred de
serves unusual credit for the fine
showing her school made on this dav.
She was sick for three weeks before
the fair and waa not able to begin
any preparation until four days be
fore the fair opened. Six Junior At?
ricultural Clubs participated in the
ye'l and singing con teat Wallaceton
Club took the fl-st place with yells,
and Whites Station second. Silver
Creek Junior Club took first place in
the singirg contert; Whites Station
came in second again. There were
one hundred and fifty club members
present and t is interesting to nota
that every rn-sl school participating
in the contest of this School and Club
Day of the Fair had a Junior Agri
cultural Cub. It speaks well also
for the influence of the Junior Clnb
on the life of the school to note that
a'l the schoMs participating in tha
Rockcastle Fa'r had Junior Club.
Some of the ohserve-s recognized that
the yells and songs introduced by the
vanou schools were those that had
first been practiced by members of
the Junior Clubs.
Another Interesting feature of the
second dav's events was the Old Man's
Race, in which there were 5 entries. J.
C. Bowman, prircipal of the Berea
n-adod school, took first place and A.
H. Kidd. of the Silver Creek commu
nity, took second place. Both the
Ijidy Teachers race and the Men
Teache-s' Race attracted much atten
tion. There were several entries in
bo'h of tbee races. Miss Hope Hih
bard, of Kingston school, took first
n'aco in the Lady Teachera race and
Miss Schtilts, rf Silver Creek school,
took second place. Stanley Powell,
of the Silver C-eek school, took first
nlsoe in the Men Teachers' Race, and
Mr. Bowman, or Kingston, took sec
ond n'ace. The chief feature of tha
.1
second day's events was the parade,1
thru town, of all the schools and com I
munitrs sttending the fair. Hiern
were mo'e than 700 in the parade,
representing he Berea graded school,

from Lancaster was judge of the
poultry and Mrs. R. C. Coomer of

number of bluo ribbons.
The crownini; event of the third day
and of the whole fair was the farm
drama, "Between Two Lives," which
was presented in the Tabernacle-Saturday
night by members of the Home
Science and Agricultural Depart
ments of the Vocational School for
the benefit of the School and Agrfrnl
tural Fair. In spite of the fact that
this play had been given twice before
in Berea, there waa a large attend
ance, and the play made a great im
pression on the audience. The mem
bers of the Vocational Department
and others who helped to make this
play a success deserve much thanks
and credit
Mr. Spence, the county agent, and
his assistant, Mr. Carrithers, both

NOTED SPECIALIST VISITS
BEREA
. A Msthisson, specialist on Scan
dinavian Folk Lore Schools, ad'
dreaaea College atodeata and fac
ulty. Reviews stability of Denmark
as result of establishment of adult
schools in that country fifty years
go.
S. A. Mathiason, who haa made a
study of Folk Lore Schools in the
Scandinavian countries and who U
now on a tour through the South
land with a view of interesting the
Southern people in the establishment
of similar schools, brought a mes
sage to the students and faculty In
the College chapel Tuesday morning.
Mr. Mathiason reviewed briefly the
growth of these schools in Denmark
and the influence that they have had
in that country during the last fifty
years in establishing a spiritual life
through education.
Fifty years ago when Germany had
taken Denmark's best territory she
was left facing poverty and national
disintegration. At that time a great
leader and educator, Gundvig, ap
peared on the scene advocating edu
cation of adults through community
schools established in reach of all.
Germany held that every adult no
matter what the disadvantages of his
past life, ought to have a chance to
become acquainted with art htera
ture. and other thine-s. which un to
that tima onlv be4in
out in collegw. a number of col-
leReg wcre established for
this
purpose out in the country districts
of Denmark where folk dances were
taught, where the people sang to
gether, and played games. In these
schools there was no definite promise
of financial returns, no diploma was
looked for. The school Itself was its
own reward.
Through these schools the whole
youth of Denmark was brought
to s realization that they had
place in the world and were thui
equipped to make a contribution to
the community and national life of
the country
Denmark, a little country, which
before these rchoola were established
was full of disesse and pove-ty, and
on the verge of national decay is
now one of the richest countriea ac
cording to its site in the world
There is practically no poverty in
Denmark and comparatively little
sickness.
Mr. Mathiason remained in Berea
for several hours to give the students
and members of the faculty, who sro
interested in such a program for
America, opportunity to interview
him.

History and Political Science
Berea College
The mariago of the ex-emperor of
Germany to Princess Ilermine Reuss
occurred on Sunday. The former
court preacher, Rev. Vogel, per
formed the ceremony in the castle of
Dorne, in Holland. There were two
services one civil and the other, re
ligious. The brother and some of the
sons of the former emperor were
present. The bride comes from an
old and highly esteemed family ana
has been married before. The people
of Germany are not inclined to took
upon the manage with favor as the
former empress was a great favorite.
The Dutch residents of the little
town felt sggrieved because the event
occurred on Sunday and also be
cause it was carried out with such
privacy. William has resumed his
favorite walk3 again in the gardens
about his castle, but he does not go
alone any more.
A recent change in the ministry
in Italy is raising some questions.
Benito Mussolini forcM the resigna
tion of the cabinet in power by show
of military force and was ssked by
the king to form a cabinet He is
leader of the extreme nationalists or
"faeisti," mado up largely of soldiers
of the recent war who combined to
fight socialism. It is estimated that
there are 800,000 in the movement
It is an aggressive force and causes
some snxiety. The premier before
accepting office was in conference
with the poet D'Annunxio, who sought
to maintain Italy's control over the
seaport of Flume on the East coast
of the Adriatic Sea.- It ia not to be
wondered at that Jugo-Slavia and Al
bania are concerned with this change
of ministry, and a revolution is said
to be taking place in Albania.
There are some reasons to believe
that President Harding is turning
toward a broader policy in regard t
world affairs. He now advocates the
appointment f aa American en the
Reparations Commission and favors
entering in full standing the Inter
national court Both of these are
creations of the League of Nations
and the U. S. would be on her way
toward taking a place in that body
should the President's wishes be car
ried out. At any rate some of his
associates are becoming alarmed over
the situation. Many of those who
voted for Mr. Harding would see in
it however, only a fulfillment of his
promires, as a good mahy voted the
Republican ticket thinking that it was
the best way to get into the League
of Nations. Sixty of the best men
of the party subscribed to that
The Turkish Nationalist are in
control of Constantinople and have
requested the Allies to withdrsw their
armies from the city. There is evi
dence also of a revolution in the In
ternal government of Turkey. Kern
al Pasha is referred to as President
and a legislative body has been es
tablished. The Sultan Mohammed
seems to be set aside or to fee exer
cising little influence. The terms of
the armlstico of Mudania are not be
ing observed and the Turks are in
vading neutral tones. Tha Allies
have demanded compliance with the
terms of the armistice. The situa
tion has aroused a restless spirit in
other countries of the Balkan pen
insula, and it will require much skill
to prevont the outbreak of new wars
for the changing of boundary lines
established at the close of the war.
At the little seaport of Guetaria in
northe-n Spain was recently cele
brated an event of great importance
that occurred four hund-ed years
ago, the return of the first man to
sail around the world, Juan Sebas
tian Elcano. This sailor was the com
mander rf one of the five ships to set
sail under Magellan in 1521, and the
only one to bring a ship back. This
was the g-eatest of all the early voy
ages and may fittingly be remember
ed. Magellan was killed in the Phil
ippines by natives, but received the
honor of the expedition. Ia the re

King snd Queen of Spsin took part,
and representatives of the nsvies of
